Paul,
      I have tried to setup yum.repos.d and I'm not getting very far,I 
set up for
example 'dag-extras.repo' with

[dag]
name=Dag APT Repository
baseurl=http://dag.freshrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
       http://dag.atrpms.net/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag/
       
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/freshrpms/pub/dag/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag
enable=0
gpgcheck=1

in the file,using "sudo yum --enablerepo=dag-extras.repo update"
I get an "Error getting repository data for dag-extras.repo, repository 
not found"
now as far I know the data is there.But putting the dag repo in yum.conf 
it works
So what am I doing wrong.

Thanks    david
